We’ve just returned from a 3 night stay at Rose Hill Cottages, where we were celebrating my mums 70th birthday. Our group of 9 ranged in age from 72 to 7 months, and everyone had a fantastic time. Tim the owner is so friendly and helpful without being intrusive, and even went the extra mile in posting back my son’s beloved cuddly toy that he left behind. The weather was a cool 19-21 degrees, but thanks to the heated pool, jacuzzi and sauna we were able to enjoy everything the cottages have to offer and most of us didn’t even leave the property from Friday to Monday. The games room was also a huge hit with the pool table/ping pong and as well as the hot tub (which I should add has blue tooth so you can play music from it!) was occupied by at least 1 person at all times! Both cottages are extremely well equipped, superbly clean and nicely decorated and the sheer amount of space you have to enjoy between the two is unmatched. We didn’t use the gym (too much fun lazing around) but it’s another extra, as well as a washing machine if you need it. We will definitely be returning, thank you!

Overall a pleasant stay in a lovely area. Used the outdoor pool everyday due to a whole week of lovely weather. Hot tub worked fine and was clean. Sauna worked for a few days then couldn't get it to work. The games room is tired and needs some attention. Pool table cloth is torn, table tennis net is broken, pool cuts had no tip and in general was disappointing. The 2 buildings to stay in were nice but again could benefit from a good spring clean and some good ol but of love and tlc. Heater in bedroom hanging of the wall.. Main front barn door to cottage can't be closed with top half open.. Blinds in bedrooms looking aged and tired and the double beds are the smaller 4ft doubles and very small with IMO mattresses that have seen better days. The owner lives close on site and lives in very close proximity to the 2 outbuildings. We didn't find this an issue but others may. The owner is a great down to earth guy who I'm sure will reflect on this review and hopefully take this positively.. A good base for exploiting Hythe, Canterbury, folkestone Dover and such like. Overall very good stay but with a little more tlc could be truly excellent..

We had a wonderful weekend at Rosehill cottages, Tim and Hayley excellent hosts who showed us everything when we arrived and left us to it, with only the odd interruption when cleaning the pool and hot tub.

KarenNottingham | Family (the eldest child is at school)

We recently stayed for 8 nights in June. We are a party of 2 families including 4 adults and 3 children.
On arrival we were told that because of a hen party that had just left that day the hot tub was being cleaned (Friday) and would not be ready for use until the following day, which was disappointing for the children but understandable. Then the day before we left - Friday again, when we woke we discovered the hot tub was being emptied and cleaned again. The owner stated he was a creature of habit and did this every Friday. This was just not acceptable that for 2 days out of 8 we had no hot tub or sauna, just the pool. It was also very disappointing being the warmest, sunniest day we had and being the day before we were going home.
On inspection both of the cottages were lovely and well kept. However during our stay mould began to spread through our bathroom. Having no natural light and just a extractor fan which we turned on religiously, this was obviously a problem that was recurring. When we returned home, even clothes we hadn't worn needed washing because everything smelt of damp, like we had been camping.
The second cottage, one of the kitchen cupboard doors fell off, which when we told the owner about he knew and was waiting on new brackets. This was never fixed for the 8 days we stayed.
The decking outside was covered in mould and rotting leaves from the trees all around the property. It was without exaggeration extremely dangerous. 2 children and my friend slipped over, whilst walking to the pool. It needs jet washing and either non slip paint or strips putting down. The owners attempt to put non slip cheap rubber mats about was rubbish because when it rained they slipped about too.
The bar area was a mess when we arrived, dirty pots and glasses out of place. We tidied this and used the table tennis table a few times. The pool table cloth was ripped in 2 places and couldn't be played properly.
The description of the property did state that the owner lived on the grounds but his property was right next to one of the cottages. We felt like we were intruding on his space, he was constantly around, looking over the hedge to the pool, cars and people coming and going and his son I believe was living in another bungalow behind the pool. We felt uncomfortable at times, to say the least.
Overall the property felt tired, mouldy and un-loved. From cracked windows, weeds on the gravel driveway and cheap plastic flowers, tat and gnomes everywhere that looked more like a car boot than a luxury holiday we had envisaged. The tree canopy above and around both cottages made the rooms very dark and dank. Having paid nearly £2000 for 8 days this was not the holiday we hoped for or wanted.
Avoid would be my advise.

GlenniseNOTTINGHAM | Family (the eldest child is at school)

Unfortunately the pool which we were looking forward to using with our family was not useable during our stay. In addition to this the cottage which is to accommodate 6 people was not big enough. The accommodation is run down and needs attention and updating, the beds are uncomfortable and the outside decking area is dangerous when it is wet. There are signs to say that care should be taken on the decking but even when care was taken it was very slippy. The owners were very pleasant and there was plenty of equipment in the cottages and we took full advantage of the bar and games room without which our holiday would have been a complete disaster.

Fantastic place and lovely people, very helpful and layed back.
Would recommend highly, the decking areas a VERY slippery when wet, although there are plenty of signs warning of this, its something that I would look into.
Apart from that this place is perfect for what we needed, games room are bar was a great touch, hot tub and sauna was excellent.

Lovely well appointed cottages on grounds of the owners farm house. Great to have the games room, gym, hot tub and sauna, and the exclusive use of the fantastic swimming pool. Good for Folkestone, Dover and Samphire Hoe. See earlier comments.....

Cottages lovely and clean. Owners were friendly and allowed us our own personal space only attending to cleaning/ maintenance when we were absent from the cottage. Comfortable, clean, well stocked. Well laid out. Great facilities. Safe for the children.

The website is easy to use. Customer services is very good. The staff are always keen to help with queries. I did receive a worrying email 2 months before our holiday date asking for the whole amount to be paid, not the last few monthly payments. This was eventually sorted out, not without a small amount of stress, but the mistake was rectified. My family and I would be happy to use their services again in the future.

Lovely accommodation- clean comfy. The pool area and grass area look a lot bigger on photos than it actually is. Very close to the owners own property. Hot tub usually closed from 6pm which was disappointing , as usually a hot tub used in the evenings. Although the owners did allow us to use it till 8.30pm Also didn’t realise there was no WiFi. Should have looked at the small print

Excellent at answering questions, providing options for our needs and responding timely. The owners were so accommodating of us, they even received our shopping delivery for us when we were running late. The cottages were spotless and well equipped, we liked the touches of eggs and tea and coffee which was provided. The facilities are absolutely great, we had a fantastic time in the hot tub and games room. The games room was great as we had some extra space for our flower crown making activity, afternoon tea as the weather wasn’t that good and for fun and games on the Saturday night. We loved it here. Thank you so much for having us.

Gave quick responses with all questions/queries and smooth handling of booking our accommodation The cottages were ideal for what we wanted for our family holiday (8 adults, 1 x 11 year old and 1 x 20 month old). Both cottages had great facilities including fully equipped kitchens. The owners were very friendly and helpful when we arrived and as we departed. There were a couple of minor repairs needed here and there but nothing of any major consequence that interfered with our stay. The cottages were decorated nicely. The hot tub and swimming pool were a big hit with the whole family and the games room kept the 2 young ones (and the rest of us not-so-young ones) entertained. We would definitely consider recommending to a friend as it was great value for money!

Excellent venue for a small family gathering. Very peaceful location. The bar and hot tub/sauna areas were both very well used and enjoyed by all. Very good value accommodation. Perfect for small family breaks due to accommodation being split between two cottages.

They were very quick at answering any email queries and helpful in sorting any admin difficulties. This accommodation split over two cottages was ideal and spacious for us. Sleeping 10 was wonderful. We were there for a larger family gathering and so my daughter and family in one cottage and son and family in with us. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. The pool is deep enough to dive at one end and shallow enough for our 4 yr old to stand up in. The pool was heated and even in the cool mornings was warm enough for us all to be in there for an hour or so... Great then to warm up fully in the hot tub! The accommodation and pools were immaculately clean. The welcome pack had teas, coffee, uht sachets of milk, cloths and washing up liquid. The beds were very comfortable. It was great being able to take the dog, with a path to the field next to the cottages for walking. The only issue for us was lack of clothes washing machine which the owners are hoping to address. The games room was a great additional facility. Thank you for allowing us to rent such a fab place.

Easy to find what you are looking for on line, I was searching for a cottage to sleep 10 that was available to suite adults and children for a short stay for my Husbands surprise Birthday treat, the clear information & photos I got on my search I knew I found what I was looking for, & at good price on the accommodation and length of stay, when I called I spoke to a very helpful Lady she also helped me more made the booking so easy & stress free, which is so reassuring when you want something like a surprise to go smoothly. I received the updates on our trip and directions how to reach the venue, I have already recommend Mulbury Cottages to family and friends who knew about the surprise and wanted to know all about our stay and how I found the website. Very satisfied with the service thank you. Because this was a surprise for my husband we arranged for the family to arrive before us so they could decorate the cottage & be ready for his arrival When my daughter arrived at the cottage she was greeted by the cottage owner Hayley, whom was such a nice lady, showed her around and explained everything, it was then my daughter said mum will be blown away with this we thought we were staying somewhere nice but this is beautiful, beyond what we were expecting, where do I start to explain, how wonderful it was to stay in Rose Cottage, for those 3 nights because of the large party of 10 we had both Cottages, so we had asses anytime to Games room which had Bar & Pool table/ table tennis, Everything you would need to have a great fun for adults and Children, then there was the Area which had a large Hot Tub , Sauna with shower, this was so clean just pure luxury, and as for the cottages we had both one was what we called the Red cottage which had 2 bedrooms this was beautifully decorated /modern & comfortable, with the feel of a delightful country cottage, then we have the larger Cottage which slept, 6 this was as decorated as equally as beautiful, each room was so clean and lovely decorated one of the room had on suite another surprise, we called this the Blue Cottage, each cottage was fully equipped with everything you would need for a nights or a week’s stay, even had a tea coffee sugar supplied for you, If you are looking to stay in the Kent area I want to experience a stay in a, comfortable Clean, delightful cottage then this is the place to go, we all had a great time & my Grandchildren loved every minute and what great photos & memorise we have for my husband’s 60th Birthday with my lovely Family staying in a relaxing fun filled magical place, Thank you Hayley and Tim you have a wonderful holiday home I didn’t want to leave.
